Amateur baker Laura Clarke has designed what we think is one of the most amazing and detailed cakes we’ve ever seen. Clarke, who’s based in the UK, built a 5ft 5in replica of Johnny Depp in character as Captain Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean for the Cake International competition in Birmingham. "The judges are probably more used to seeing three-tier wedding cakes than giant Jack Sparrows" said Clarke speaking to the BBC. "All I'd really made before was some bog-standard banana cake in home economics," she said. "The first time I baked a decorated cake was for my mother-in-law's 25th wedding anniversary. I thought it was rubbish but everybody else seemed to like it." The talented baker said that she learned all of her skills from YouTube. The cake is made from crisped rice and marshmallows that's supported by PVC pipes and stainless steel. It’s decorated with royal and fondant icing and colourful edible paint. "He's just shy of life-size because I was worried we wouldn't be able to get him out of the door” she said. "It took me 90 hours to make. We live with my fiancé's parents and I think they will be pleased to get rid of it. "When my father-in-law first saw him, he leapt about 10ft in the air thinking we had burglars." Clarke has hired a minibus to transport Johnny the cake to competition this Friday, results will be known on Sunday. Images via BBC
